Dalvin Cook Will Be Focal Point Week 1

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook may not have a long-term contract but will be ready to lead the charge on offense in Week 1. On paper, the matchup may seem daunting against a Packers run defense that allowed the 11th fewest fantasy points to runners in 2019. But Cook absolutely shredded the Cheeseheads in […]

Horse For The Course: PGA DFS (Course History) - Safeway Open

Thanks for joining me here at RotoBaller PGA DFS family! My guy DJ just continued to show out at East Lake. Why can't he do this is in majors? I suppose that's the age-old question with Dustin Johnson... Although we've crowned a FedEx Cup champion, we've still got a lot of golf left as we […]

Clint Capela Cleared For 5-On-5 Workouts

Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela (foot) has been cleared to begin doing 5-on-5 workouts. The Hawks are expected to begin group workouts in the end of September, so Capela should be taking part in that. He was traded to Atlanta mid-season, but has not played a game for them yet due to a plantar fasciitis […]

Hornets Attempting To Trade Nicolas Batum

Charlotte Hornets forward Nicolas Batum is expected to pick up his $27 million player option for next season. It is far more than he'd get in free agency, so there's no reason for him not to accept the deal. It's the final year of his contract, so the Hornets are likely going to attempt to […]

Kirk Cousins Can't Be Trusted Against Packers

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins will have a difficult matchup Week 1 against the Packers. Cousins really struggled against Green Bay in 2019, passing for only 352 yards, two touchdowns and three interceptions across two games against them last season. Green Bay was fantastic suppressing production from opposing passers last year, allowing the fourth fewest […]

Danuel House Could Miss Game 4

Houston Rockets forward Danuel House (personal) was unable to suit up for Tuesday's Game 3 against the Los Angeles Lakers. He is dealing with a personal issue, so it's unclear if he'll suit up next game. Robert Covington (face), Jeff Green, Austin Rivers, and Ben McLemore would benefit if House is out. Covington is the […]

Aaron Rodgers Has Stiff Week 1 Matchup

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers will have a tough first test Week 1 against the division-rival Vikings. Rodgers' offensive production tailed off last season, as he failed to pass for more than 240 yards in six of his last eight games. Now he will face a Vikings Defense that allowed the 11th-fewest fantasy points […]

T.J. Hockenson Ready To Take Next Step

Detroit Lions tight end T.J. Hockenson will have an intriguing matchup Week 1 against the Bears that may give him some sleeper value in deeper leagues. Chicago last season tied for sixth most receptions allowed to opposing tight ends at a 72.3% completion clip. Hockenson burst on the scene in Week 1 of last year […]

Danielle Hunter's Week 1 Status In Doubt

Minnesota Vikings defensive end Danielle Hunter's (undisclosed) status for the season opener in Week 1 is very much in doubt. If Hunter practices on Wednesday, he'll likely be limited. His chances of playing against the Packers this weekend could depend on whether he can get in a full practice by Friday. The 25-year-old pass-rusher is […]

Marvin Williams Retires From Basketball

Milwaukee Bucks forward Marvin Williams has decided to retire from the NBA. The 34-year-old is walking away from the game after 15 productive seasons in the league. "I've been very blessed. God has been very, very good to me," Williams said. He was unable to win a championship before retiring, but put up fairly solid […]

Robert Covington Should Play In Game 4

Houston Rockets forward Robert Covington (face) is expected to be available for Game 4 against the Los Angeles Lakers. It doesn't sound like his nose is broken and Covington was able to pass the concussion protocol. Danuel House (personal) is questionable for Game 4, which could mean big minutes for Covington. Fantasy owners should check […]

Marvin Jones Jr. Will Be WR3/4 Option Week 1

Detroit Lions wide receiver Marvin Jones Jr. will have a tough first test in Week 1 against a talented Bears Defense. Jones caught 62 passes for 779 yards with nine touchdowns in only 13 games last season and the Lions are hoping for a full season from veteran quarterback Matthew Stafford. Jones will go up […]

Kenny Golladay Is Matchup-Proof In Week 1

Detroit Lions wide receiver Kenny Golladay will look to get his season off on the right foot against a tough Bears Defense in Week 1. Golladay posted a career-high 1,190 yards with 11 touchdowns even as the Lions had a revolving door at quarterback due to injuries. His Week 1 matchup on paper seems unappealing […]

Mike Evans Could Be Game-Time Decision Sunday

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Bruce Arians said that wide receiver Mike Evans is dealing with a soft-tissue injury, and he could be a game-time decision on Sunday in Week 1 against the division-rival Saints. Making things even more difficult for fantasy managers is the fact that the Bucs play an afternoon game in Week […]

Kyle Nelson With A Tough Test To Move To .500 In UFC

Kyle Nelson (13-3) is coming off of his first UFC win after dropping his first two UFC bouts. Nine of those 13 career wins have come by finish, including a knockout of Khama Worthy on the regional scene in 2017. Alarmingly, Nelson only lands 2.73 significant strikes per minute while absorbing 6.35 significant strikes per […]

Jimmy Graham Has Sleeper Value Against Lions

Chicago Bears tight end Jimmy Graham will have a fantastic matchup Week 1 against the Lions. The former Pro Bowler was a huge disappointment in Green Bay the past two seasons and many national pundits think he is washed up. But Graham has drawn rave reviews during training camp for the Bears and head coach […]

Anthony Miller Has Favorable Week 1 Matchup

Chicago Bears wide receiver Anthony Miller will have a chance to get his season off to a strong start with a favorable matchup against the Lions Week 1. Miller was a disappointment last season, hauling in only four receptions through his first four games and did not produce until the final handful of games. Miller […]

Calvin Ridley A WR2 Against Seattle

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Calvin Ridley is in line for a good day against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 1. Ridley figures to matchup with 2019 Pro Bowler Shaquill Griffin, who was the Seahawks' most improved player according to Pro Football Focus. The good thing for Ridley is, Atlanta moved him into the slot occasionally […]

Allen Robinson II To Carry WR1 Status Week 1

Chicago Bears wide receiver Allen Robinson II has an attainable chance at posting WR1 numbers Week 1 against the Lions. Robinson posted top-10 wide receiver production last season, catching a career-high 98 passes for 1,147 yards and seven touchdowns. He enters the season as, by far, the most accomplished offensive weapon on a Bears team […]

Josh Jacobs Motivated To Produce In Passing Game

Las Vegas Raiders second-year running back Josh Jacobs is motivated to improve his pass-catching numbers in Year 2. "I think he's got to stay wire-to-wire healthy and we have to get more out of him in the passing game, more on the field on third down. He had a great year last year and we […]

He was actually on TUF […]

Todd Gurley II A Good Bet To Find The End Zone In Week 1

Atlanta Falcons running back Todd Gurley II will face a familiar foe in his Week 1 matchup against the Seattle Seahawks. There were some question marks regarding Gurley II's health, though he alleviated some of those concerns with a strong training camp. The matchup against Seattle isn't the greatest, but the 26-year-old has enjoyed success […]

Aqib Talib Hangs Up His Cleats

Former Denver Broncos and New England Patriots All-Pro cornerback Aqib Talib announced his retirement from football on Wednesday. Talib said he seriously considered an offer to return to New England and head coach Bill Belichick for a role covering opposing tight ends, but in the end, his heart just wasn't in it anymore. In his […]

Von Miller Out 5-6 Months With Dislocated Tendon

Denver Broncos linebacker Von Miller (ankle) was diagnosed with a dislocated peroneal tendon in his ankle after suffering the injury in practice on Tuesday. Essentially, the tendon flipped over the ankle bone. Miller will likely need surgery with a general recovery time of five to six months. In a best-case scenario, he'd be out for […]

Austin Meadows Continuing To Struggle In September

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Austin Meadows has had a rough season, slashing just .202/.288/.358 after posting a slash line of .291/.364/.558 in 2019. Meadows has been especially bad at the plate lately. Through seven games in September, Meadows is just 2-for-27 with 13 strikeouts. His barrel rate on the season is just 8.5%, a significant […]

Matt Ryan Possesses Upside Against Seahawks

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan has upside in a plus matchup against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 1. Seattle has a good secondary, but the loss of Jadeveon Clowney leaves them with a questionable pass rush. Ryan has thrown at least two touchdowns in each of his last two meetings against the Seahawks and has […]

Sixto Sanchez Wins Again On Tuesday

Miami Marlins rookie starting pitcher Sixto Sanchez pitched well again on Tuesday, helping the Marlins to an 8-0 win over the Atlanta Braves.
